Antivirus company Panda Security at the weekend warned users about the discovery of a new hacking campaign in the social network Facebook, which scammers spread spam using a known malware Blackhole, infecting users' PCs. To distribute malware, hackers design their posts under the guise of messages from the administration of Facebook.
Reports scammers fraudulently trying to provoke Facebook users go to a malicious link to download the above malware. To fool users, hackers are reported to the user that for some reason, their account was suspended, but the careful user should be alerted by the fact that in order to "unlock" your account, the user is asked, first, something download, and secondly, to download it to a site, which is located outside the domain facebook.com.
Louis Matthews, Senior Technical Panda, said that the system of attack is built so that when you click on a malicious link in the email is almost a dozen redirects from one site to another. This is in order to make it more difficult to trace the real organizers of the campaign to infect computers.
